This slowing down of sales can be attributed to global issues with the supply chain due to a lack of raw materials for microchips. Demand is also slowing down because of the push towards EVs, an expensive alternative that not all consumers are able to afford.

Economic Environment

Australian economic growth was lackluster in the third quarter, restrained by feeble private domestic spending. Falling mining and dwelling investment, despite a loose monetary policy stance, caused fixed investment to dip in the quarter, while meagre wage growth and a higher saving ratio offset recent tax cuts and translated into anemic consumer spending.

On the other hand, the external sector continued to support growth, powered by strong commodity exports, which led to a wider current account surplus in the quarter. Turning to Q4, jobs shedding, feeble retail sales in October and downbeat consumer confidence throughout the quarter all point to subdued household spending, while business surveys signal only limited improvements.

Economic Environment

Australian economic activity hit the brakes in the third quarter as falling house prices, tightening financing conditions and sluggish wage growth squeezed consumer spending. Nevertheless, according to available indicators, growth should regain some pace in Q4 given that retail sales accelerated, the labor market continued to add jobs in October, consumer confidence improved throughout the quarter, and given the sharp drop in oil prices since early October.

Solid growth is expected in 2019. A further tightening in the labor market should translate into faster wage growth. This, coupled with moderate inflationary pressures, ought to stoke consumer spending. Moreover, robust demand for commodities will support the external sector while fixed investment is expected to expand, albeit at an modest pace, buttressed by rising non-mining business investment and public infrastructure spending.
